Acknowledgements and Confirmations- The basics

“Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Letters of acknowledgement and letters of confirmation are similar.  The letter of acknowledgment says, “I received your letter (email, telephone call, gift, materials).”

The letter of confirmations says, “I received your letter (email, message, contract)  and we agree about the matter.”  This letter can serve as an informal contract.
